Split Croatia- Pine-clad hills, secluded coves, beaches- Split and the Dalmatian Riviera have been premier destinations on the Adriatic since the days of theRoman Emperors.
In fact, medieval Split was built within and around the palace built for the emperor Diocletian in his retirement.
The charms that entertained Emperors are still evident today. The Dalmatian Riviera offers the traveler a heady blend of natural beauty and fascinating cultural sites.
Diocletian abdicated in 305 A.D . During his reign , the emperor ruthlessly persecuted Christians. Ironically Split’s St. Dominius’ Cathedral occupies his mausoleum.
As far as we know, the original settlers here were Dalmatians tribes, later joined by Greek merchants, who saw the value of the harbor and its proximity to the rich interior. The first Romans stablished a colony nearby at Selona in 78 B.C, taking full advantage of the same features. Selona eventually became the Roman administrative center for Dalmatia, especially after Caesar settled other Italian colonist there. Roman roads and aqueducts were added to exploit the rich mines and farms along the sunny coast.
Diocletian Palace- The heart of old Split is built within and around the sprawling 8.4 acre(3.4 hectare) Palace erected by Diocletians.
The reason that I haven't completely cut the plant back to the ground. Something about the way the new leaves come out and the bloom of the split leaf philodendron appear just keep me from taking the mamouth out.
I remember showing Split Banana to a number of my friends, and there was a split opinion on where the banana actually was within the painting. One of my closet friends was certain that there were two bananas, whereas other friends could visualise just the one open banana. I am not here to tell you how many bananas you should be seeing as I always like to hear how people perceive my paintings on a personal level. I feel the blended strong watercolours shown throughout this painting helps bring the fruit (or should I say seed, herb or even berry!) to life. After this painting was complete I remember looking back proudly, tucking into the very thing I had just painted.

A split footbridge on the Stourbridge Canal at Buckpool.
Split bridges were used around locks to enable the towing line to pass through the bridge when the towpath did not go under the bridge.
Split Tongue Crow played a tripple-billed show @ the Sumner Night Chapel as part of the Keene Music Festival series to benefit the restoration of the Chapel. A band new to me, I was blown away! Also in the lineup were Big Paws and Blackjack Crossing. Check out pictures of their sets as well, and go buy everyone's music, or better yet, see them live!
